A carpet yarn manufacturing unit typically deploys massive machines equipped with numerous precision extrusion parts including a gearbox each that's responsible for power transmission to the machines. Any fault or damage in any of the extrusion parts demands urgent and immediate attention since no manufacturing unit can bear long duration shut downs. That explains the urgency whereby a gearbox repair or replacement of idler rolls has to be handled in order to minimize down time. As a result, the textile manufacturing units need to stay in close coordination with the local manufacturers of precision parts, also known as precision engineering firms.
While a simple gearbox repair may take 5 to 7 days. A fault more complex in nature may invite 6-14 days of turnaround time by an efficient and steadfast precision engineering firm. It is, therefore, suggested to choose a precision engineering firm that offers fastest pick up of broken gearbox and extends round the clock service all year round. You should consider the ready availability of trained engineers and machinists at their end and the broadest range of gearboxes the firm can service. Moreover, you should be concerned about how advanced their metallurgical analysis tools are, since that would only ensure replacements of each gear and shaft (needing replacement) with OEM quality.
Idler rolls being vital extrusion parts during yarn manufacturing also demand immediate replacement, as and when required. Proper balancing of the idlers is critical for them to operate at a high speed of 15000 rpms and above. So, you should check for proof of proper balancing while purchasing rolls from any precision engineering firm.
